Is this a good deal??? (Complete FD engine, transmission, and components)

I have a Full 13b-rew twin turbo engine and 5 speed transmission swap
complete from intake to oil pan. I'll even included the radiator.

Includes:
Turbos
Injectors
Intake(s)
Intercooler w cast fit Aluminum hard pipes
Mounts
5 speed manual Transmission
clutch and flywheel
Complete Wiring harness
Factory ECU
Coil packs
Igniter
Boost sensor
ect..

everything is still together running in my car currently. It will be pulled within a couple weeks no matter the case.

I do not know the Mileage of the engine. It comes from my 93 FD which has 85k miles on the odometer. The engine has obviously been out of the car before and according to the previous owner is a street ported engine. It does run, however being on the factory ECU now it is not very happy in the lower end, but pulls hard and runs great in the higher RPMs. AFR's stay in the safe range but I have not driven it much just to be safe as I do not know enough about rotarys to feel comfortable with it. It is only being pulled for a V8 swap. I am not a rotary person and cannot tell you much else about it.

Im asking $2000 OBO open to cash offers
This is not me by the way someone is selling this on craigslist.

I would suggest having a compression test done before the engine gets pulled.

Be careful how you post things. I nearly deleted the thread and sent you a warning about posting FS threads outside the classifieds section.

Instead I merged your two posts. Next time just edit the previous one. And please me descriptive in your thread titles:

14. Please include a descriptive subject for your thread. People shouldn't have to open the thread to find out what the topic is!

this should give you a hint. a streetported motor is a plug and play affair with the stock ECU, if the engine is not running properly in his car it will not run properly in your car and it is not due to the porting.

ditto the compression test. it may be something very minor like an unplugged coolant temp sender or something major like one of the many shotty ported motors still floating around.
